1,200+ girls in bikinis

This Friday, April 18, Cosmopolitan is trying to break the Guinness Book of Record’s for the largest photo shoot by putting 1200+ girls in bikinis on the beach and spelling out the word “Cosmo.”

The shoot will appear in the magazine’s August issue. The previous record was set last September by Australian Cosmo when they photographed 1,010 women on Bondi Beach.

In addition to participating in the photo shoot, the magazine will offer manicures, beauty consultations and massages in the Nivea lounge and the first 1,200 women who arrive will receive a free Old Navy bikini to wear at the shoot.
